Why Senator Stevens Needs Internet Censorship

by Ted Lang - August 2, 2007

When I first read the report that two United States Senators needed censorship of the Internet, my thought was that of course they needed censorship because they, as well as all the rest of the “criminal class” [Mark Twain] in Congress and in the Cheney-Bush regime, need absolute secrecy and complete public obedience in order to continue perpetrating their criminal activities. I reasoned immediately that these two traitors needed stricter laws to regulate free speech and thought currently available on the Internet websites of the “alternative media” to force a return to the normalcy of the big corporate, establishment, mainstream mass media that struggles so hard to protect these felons thereby enabling them to pursue unabated their unlawful activities.

Am I down on Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court because I have suddenly become mentally and politically deranged and am now suffering a libertarian psychosis? Reality bites, and I’ve spent the last ten years pounding a keyboard, and you can’t do this for that long without learning something in the process. After all, how many times can we question 9/11 events without drawing an analogy between that horrible day and the lies surrounding the U.S.S. Maine, the Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, the murder of General Patton and the Gulf of Tonkin farce, and not learn anything from the process?

Do governments kill their own people? Of course they do! Only the idiots, fools, morons and nut cakes that think Republicans are good and Democrats are bad, or vice versa, have the necessary fractional room temperature-level I.Q. to believe “there’s a dime’s worth of difference between Democrats and Republicans.” Only they believe government is good and God is bad, or that the latter simply doesn’t exist.

Unfortunately, there are still a large number of fools in America who should turn in their belly buttons and paste their political party’s membership card on their foreheads to warn everyone of their unassailable stupidity. What more proof and better examples of the folly of America’s “two-party” system can be offered than what has transpired over just the last six months?

We recently learned from a most unlikely mass media source, the Washington Post, that Vice President Dick Cheney is running our country’s government. Why is that source unlikely? Because it is owned and operated by Donald Graham, a Bilderberg regular. Why would a New World Order Bilderberger give the Dicktatorship a problem when it is doing such a fine, secret job in getting US all there? And as Dick runs America into the ground, we accept the fact that the Constitution gives him absolutely no authority to do so. He just sticks proposed “laws” and executive orders in front of the White House Moron, and the “commander guy” signs them. The WHM thinks he is the “decider” but it is Cheney who is the decider and he’s just the “signer.”

And after America discovered that the signer is also a liar and tricked US into an unconstitutional unnecessary “war” and invasion-occupation, American voters gave a carte blanche landslide to Democrats to expedite holding Republicans accountable for their crimes. Democrats were mandated to get US out of Iraq, to re-investigate 9/11, and to impeach Bush, Cheney and Gonzales. So if Republicans are bad, then Democrats are much worse, because they have the power to bring about the nation-saving changes America now so desperately needs. But it is obvious beyond belief, that Democrats are just as stupid as Republicans are corrupt.

And what supports the stupidity, corruption, failures and criminal activities of our thoroughly rotten and immoral government officials and representatives? What allows unlimited and unchecked bad government to continue its crime spree? A corrupt, immoral, non-free and non-independent corporate mainstream establishment mass media. Network TV and radio “news;” FoxNoise, The New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Time, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal, and the rest of these worse than worthless “journalistic” sources. And even as they continue to demonstrate their contempt for America, its people, and its Constitution, the Bill O’Reilly types and wastetoids point their crooked fingers at the alternative media complaining of “non-professionalism.” We’ll take that as a very high compliment.

Both sides of the aisle hate the Internet for its honesty and truth. The Hillaroid has already indicated that when AIPAC appoints her as America’s first Queen, she’ll make damn sure that two-party system “gatekeepers” are in place to ensure professionalism. And that in all likelihood is precisely the same line of reasoning which motivated Republican Senator Ted Stevens from the State of Alaska to express his fear of the Internet as well. And who knows more about the Internet than the schnook of the north?

Here is a quote I found on dailykos from Senator Ted “Tubes” Stevens on the complex workings of the Internet he’s chomping at the bit to regulate: “I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially. The regulatory approach is wrong. Your approach is regulatory in the sense that it says “No one can charge anyone for massively invading this world of the internet”. No, I’m not finished. I want people to understand my position. I’m not going to take up a lot of time. They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.” Got that?

That was almost a year ago, and now, heeeeees’ back! In a piece posted July 25th by Adam Thomas on pressesc.com entitled, “US Senators call for universal Internet filtering,” the article begins: “US senators today made a bipartisan call for the universal implementation of filtering and monitoring technologies on the Internet in order to protect children at the end of a Senate hearing for which civil liberties groups were not invited. Commerce Committee Chairman Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii) and Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee Vice Chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) both argued that Internet was a dangerous place where parents alone will not be able to protect their children.”

Now did you get the key words in that proposed attack on free speech and free access to information that the establishment mass media is depriving US of? The Internet must be “filtered,” meaning it needs a Hillaroid-approved government stooge to monitor what is allowable for public consumption and what is not. And just like Hillaroid’s false front, it is , of course, “for the children.” That authorizes deprivation of truth and fact to adults that wish to think as opposed to turning in their belly buttons. And also startling, is the point made by Thomas that civil liberties groups weren’t invited. They obviously weren’t wanted and were considered by these fine examples of American government officialdom as threats to their clandestine political maneuvers.

Here’s the “it’s-for-the-children fraud” offered by Inouye: “‘While filtering and monitoring technologies help parents to screen out offensive content and to monitor their child’s online activities, the use of these technologies is far from universal and may not be fool-proof in keeping kids away from adult material,’ Sen. Inouye said. ‘In that context, we must evaluate our current efforts to combat child pornography and consider what further measures may be needed to stop the spread of such illegal material over high-speed broadband connections.’” Then Internet genius Stevens chimes in: “‘Given the increasingly important role of the Internet in education and commerce, it differs from other media like TV and cable because parents cannot prevent their children from using the Internet altogether,’ Sen. Stevens said. ‘The headlines continue to tell us of children who are victimized online. While the issues are difficult, I believe Congress has an important role to play to ensure that the protections available in other parts of our society find their way to the Internet.’” In other words, parents need help raising their children from these two morons!

Obviously the protections these two elected criminals want for our society are protections from our society. These two clowns are obviously mass media trailblazers activated to torpedo the Internet and silence dissent and criticism of rotten, corrupt government.

And shortly after this activity on the parts of Inouye and Senator Ted “Tubes” Stevens was exposed, elements of the FBI and the IRS raided Senator “Tubes’” home looking for evidence of precisely the criminal activity of which we speak. Again, miraculously, the Washington Post hits paydirt! Post staff writers Dan Eggen and Paul Kane in their July 31st article, “Alsaka Senator’s Home Is Raided,” write:”Agents from the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service raided the Alsaka home of Sen. Ted Stevens [R] yesterday as part of a broad federal investigation of political corruption in the state that has also swept up his son and one of his closest financial backers, officials said”

The article goes on: “Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator in history, is under scrutiny from the Justice Department for his ties to an Alaska energy services company, Veco, whose chief executive pleaded guilty in early May to a bribery scheme involving state lawmakers.”

So there you have it. More secret government operations, abuse of power, and lobbying arrangements depriving the American people of both representative government and justice. Yet these holier-than-you-and-me “honorables” feel qualified to write laws to govern our behavior, what we see, what we read, and what we think. And does it matter to which party they belong? Only if you are a political party loyalist and simpleton.

So folks, forget impeachment, special prosecutors, investigatory boards and panels; they’re all a total waste of time. We must find only one honest, decent man, who will use the great centralized power of the federal government to give the government back to the people. And that man is Congressman Ron Paul!
